You can help us make something different at this year's Tour d'Organics in

Sebastopol. The ride is still all organic and all vegan, but this year we're

committed to having ZERO WASTE. The primary waste from the event is the plates

and utensils from the post-ride meal. While we have always used compostable

materials, we'd like to minimize the amount of energy that goes into producing

the materials needed for the event (if you haven't seen the Story of Stuff,

check it out!). Also, the word from our local composting facility is that those

" compostable " materials aren't " green " at all. In fact, they reject any loads of

waste that contain " compostables " such as cups & utensils and send them to the

landfill! Here's how you can help: BRING YOUR OWN PLATES & UTENSILS. It's pretty

simple. Bring a plate or bowl, a fork and spoon, and a cup. Leave in the car

while you ride. Grab them from your car after your ride. Come chow down on our

scrumptious organic meal

made from locally grown produce by our dedicated crew of OrganicAthlete

volunteers. Then place your used dishes in a waterproof bag or container to take

home and wash. It's fun that you can feel good about. If you happen to forget

your eating ware, we'll be selling reusable plates and more at the event that

you can take with you to future rides. Speaking of future rides, now is a good

time to get registered for the Sebastopol ride. Spots are filling up more

quickly than they ever have! See you in August, -Bradley Stay connected:
